Reincarnation - Ereri/Riren

Part 1 - Execution Call

Eren's POV

A loud bang rang throughout the room "Eren Jaeger, titan shifter, sent to execution as the last titan to have lived! You have 1 more day, Jaeger!" the judges voice was harsh and merciless. Silence filled the room for a brief moment before it was replaced with yelling. My knees trembled and I didn't even have the strength to cry. In a way, I was happy, happy that the titans wouldn't exist with me being dead, happy everyone would feel safe and live in peace outside the walls. My ears were attacked with cries of close friends, cheers from titan haters, flesh hitting flesh as people fought, then, the slam of a door... Slam of a door?

"Heichou!" some unrecognisable voice stood out as another slam followed... 'Heichou?' I was bound and unable to move, but I knew that slam was from the back exit. Of corse, because it was the only exit.

I was escorted by Armin, who had become a squad leader after a while of helping Erwin so much. As we left the court room the sound of footsteps began to seem louder as the yelling became softer. My mind was almost blank, the only thoughts that filled it was what noises I could hear. The sound of healed shoe footsteps was soon replaced now it was the sound of a moving carriage.

"I'm sorry those must be really tight..." Armin stared agitatedly at the tight restraints that would probably leave long lasting marks on my wrists. And yes, they were tight, very tight. Tight to the point I could feel the skin about to peel off and make me bleed, in fact, I probably was. After all I've done for the populous inside of these walls to live, they instead fear me for unwillingly having the power to become a monster. 'Calm down... Calm down...' I couldn't let my anger get ahold of me, I'm better of having my mind stay blank but there were no noises to focus on.

"I'll... Be fine..." I replied to Armin, quietly. In fact I wasn't, I would kill to take them off but I didn't want to cause Armin trouble. The pain would worsen with every movement of my wrists, so I tried not to move them. My facial expressions twisted as Armin gripped at my hands, twisting my wrists so the palms of my hands faced the floor.

"Are you sure you're not just saying that so I don't attempt in helping you? Don't try telling me it's not to get in into trouble either because that doesn't matter right now." shit, he read through me. But that's what you'd expect when you've known someone for as long as Armin and I've known each other.

"I hate how you can see through me like that..." I tried to fake the best smile possible, but of corse I knew Armin would see through it and straight to the tears that haven't even emerged in my eyes yet.

The carriage pulled to a hult 'I guess we're here...' Back to where I'd be locked up under heichou's watch.

Heichou and I confessed to each other a year ago, although the feelings were mutual and we had made our 'dating' official it had to be kept secret and we were unable to see each other as often as we'd have liked. It was pretty much the same as usual except less hitting more hand holding, hugging, kissing. He called me brat less and became more loving and warm towards me. We love each other no matter how little we see one another. Thinking back on it... The call for my execution would be the reason he seemingly stormed out of the court room.

"I'm sorry, Levi heichou..." I whispered under my breath in a sad tone, quiet enough for no one to hear as I was taken out of the carriage.
